1
Heat a small, heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Shake gently until they turn a shade darker and give out a nutty smell.
2
Tip them into a bowl. Repeat this process with the coriander and cumin seeds. Allow them cool and crisp up for a few minutes.
3
Place the sesame seeds, coriander, cumin, peppercorns and salt in a clean coffee or spice grinder and grind finely.
4
Finely chop the hazelnuts in the grinder, taking care not to over-blend them into a paste.
5
Mix the finely chopped hazelnuts with the sesame seed mixture and the cinnamon. Store in an airtight container until needed.
